This is what I was leaning towards from the beginning. The fx6 does not push near enough water. Most wavemakers are out simply due to 3/4” material. That leaves me with tunze, maxspect gyre, apex WAV or mp40/60s. Not looking to spend the money on any of those listed and suction cup wavemakers are automatically out so likely going with a Jebao MLW30 attached with neodymium magnets as opposed to the stock ones.
Is the Euro-bracing also 3/4-inch thick? If not, maybe you could clamp to it. Or, if it is, maybe you could glue on some kind of flange or 90-degree angle piece to the bottom of the bracing, or to the end piece of the tank, and clamp to that?
I'm really looking forward to seeing this thing happen!

Yes, the inexpensive ones I have all use a mounting system that can either be clamped to a flat edge or can utilize a sort of pin that inserts into the suction cup bracket. A piece of acrylic glued to the inside of the tank could be drilled to accept that pin also, without actually jeopardizing the structural integrity of the tank. I had moderate success with a similar set-up in the past.
Don't know if it would work in your situation, just sort of spitballin' here...
Lighting is up! Streams are beginning to thaw so fish collection will be coming in the next few weeks!!
Planted tank continues to do well. I Went to a local lake shore and grabbed sand for the 7’ tank. Now the hunt for a beautiful piece of driftwood begins!
Still ice on the lakes so will be waiting another few weeks before fish collection.

That is a sweet tank size. I would consider Hemiodus tetras, semi hatchets (Triportheus), or a school of Tetragonopterus.
Your planted tank looks awesome!
